Rise My Minions Patch Notes | 4/28

Not gonna retype my Ah Puch thoughts, read here if you care what I think

Kawaii Pop Bastet is silly and amazing. I love it.

Void Wyrm and Executioner look badass as hell, kinda annoyed they're locked behind the SPL Fantasy thingy, but I guess they've gotta put good rewards up to actually incentivize participating, eh?

Desert Queen Serqet looks great, loving all the Tier 2 skins, can't wait to see what else they're gonna put out.

SPL Xbal is actually pretty sexy for an esports skin, not too OTT unlike SWC Ares (which I still do like BTW). Gonna be rocking the EU one, of course ;)

Achievements! Cool. Just so long as people don't go too crazy for them, I'm down!

SPL Fantasy League thingy. Huh. Wasn't expecting to see this, but it's a pretty neat idea. It's a great way to get more people into caring about the competitive scene - because who isn't gonna want a shot at Void Wrym or Executioner? :D

New Store is great. Looks so much smoother and easier to use. Great Job to the UI guys on this one. :)

Arena minion bugfix: WOW. THAT WAS A THING?

Items:

Soul Stone: I like it. Will be fun to play around with on Gods like Nox or Scylla. Always nice to have options :D

Devos/HS: Hopefully this will make ADC builds a little more flexible. I'll probably stick with Devos because I'm a scrublord and will drop my HS stacks way too much :(

HH Nerf: Fair nerf, less health and smaller slow. Hope to see less of this item now >_>

Magi's: Again, I think this is smart. Magi's is kinda ridiculous, and now having someone like He Bo or Vulcan or Isis on bubble-popping duty will be slightly more valuable, and positioning when you have bubble up is more important.

Talaria: Ooooh. Interesting. Will definitely be trialing these, especially on Athena.

God Changes:

Athena: Yay :3

Apollo: Tiny change, doubt it'll do much for him, but it's something :)

Ao Kuang: Holy crap, that's quite the buff. The Dragon Call buff is pretty nice, but the really big thing is that heal on KotES. Let's see where this leaves him...

Kumbha: Buff, buff, buff, the Kumbha. Thematically appropriate (if you're drowsy, you're gonna be swinging with a bit less gusto), and a strong tool for Kumbha in the laning phase (30% at Rank 1 is insane early game).

Neith: Let's be real, this isn't going to change a thing. Her late game is still gonna be crap compared to other ADCs. All this will do is make more people build her for ability damage and CDR and wonder why they're having no impact on fights past 15 minutes. I don't know why I'm complaining about a buff to my favourite Hunter...

Osiris: Tiny buff. Not going to change much, but it's something I guess.

Wukong: VEW. Really nice buffs, the extra bonus damage on Jingu Bang is going to help his laning phase immensely, plus better early game CC on Tiger Stun and a tad more damage on Master's Will is going to make him better. Doubt he'll be top tier, but he'll be in a good spot IMO :D
